Need RSB help Fast!!!

Ok I know this has to be the billionth time theres an RSB thread. Now before u get ur panties in a bunch,...I DID search. And got 4000 hits. I dont have all week to read through em. Quick and easy question here.

WHAT IS THE BEST RSB ON THE MARKET FOR GEN5'S? Also Which would work best with my TEIN/GR2 combo and FSTB? Price is not an issue,....PERFORMANCE IS.


Sorry about the OT rewrite here.

TIA,
Justin

Go with the addco it's cheap and works great. The stillen is good too but why spend the extra money for the same thing.

yes i think it is, there are clamps on the end of each side of the sway bar and depending on how you set them will change how it works. The closer to the back of the bar makes it stiffer.

If price is not an issue, go w/Stillen RSB. They are the easiest to install & adjust.

Stillen hands down, owned both Addco and Stillen. Stillen is easier to install and works great....

Stillen should not have the brake line problem.

I have the Cattman RSB that I got from Custom Maxima (no service problems) and there is now issue with the brake line. Installation was easy, however, it is NOT adjustable like the Stillen one.

bwaaahaha, I love the responses to the 18 yr old thing, lmfao.
Ahem, Here's why I went with the Cattman RSB:
a) 130.00 shipped to my door(Florida)
b) blends in with the undercarriage so its not too noticeable(dark gray color, but nicely offset with metal c-clips and bushings
c) adjustable depending on how close to the wheel you place the bushings
d) installation took 90 minutes and I generally suck with mechanics
e) i heard great things about the handling and I WAS NOT disappointed with mine. I would never try Stillen or any other brand as the handling with my RSB is PERFECT and the price was right.

Ok, stoopid question here, why would you want to adjust the RSB?

make the handling stiffer or softer, by moving the bar in closer it makes the overall perfomance of the bar more effective. at least i thought it was closer

i say bend the bracket that holds the brake lines so it points away from the rsb bolts if you have the stillen one.. i for sure installed mine right but i still ruptured one brake line.. maybe it's because i had SS lines but i replaced it and bent the bracket out so it wouldn't happen again.
